I think I speak for most of the world right now when I say this:

Fuck.

People tend to forget just how hard the propaganda machine was swinging then. Remember freedom fries? And how the start of the war was timed for primetime television?

Can’t wait to see what the N-Line will look like

Saw this written on a plaque at the Holocaust memorial in Berlin and it really gave me pause, reflecting on what is happening all around the world right now.

I’m sure you looked fabulous 👌

“Pardon my cacography” sure has a better ring to it than, “can you read this?”

Women are you doing a clearance thing to me first thing in your position to be done in a few weeks to ensure the work is carried away and the offer will not work out.

Why did this read like a Trump speech…

I must’ve played a ton of trash games that I purged from my memory, but one notable one that comes to mind is Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. The game was super highly anticipated and hyped and I was a massive C&C fan before, only to be completely disappointed by this massive turd that they shat on this genre defining franchise. The revolutionary “physics” did nothing to the game play, the main story was maybe a total of 4 hours and it was just buggy as fuck with the AI pathfinding being incredibly bad and somehow worse than the predecessors or the main other RTSs of the time.

I read the whole series and somehow missed this, I did chalk up a lot of things to “must be a chinese cultural thing”, like the whole idea of all nations actually working together or globally banning “escapism” and just suspended my disbelief, so maybe I glossed over that bit as well. Is there a good article that dives into this?

E: Found this article, that goes into it as well as other issues, well worth a read
